Looking for a fun, free way to help the environment AND save money?

The Green Homes Challenge provides a way to learn eco-friendly actions, track your progress toward going green, and get recognized for your efforts! Come join over 2,500 households already helping our community become more sustainable.

This program is for everyone.

Whether you own your home or rent a space, live in town or out in the country, going green can help you have a healthier, more budget-friendly lifestyle and make a positive impact on the world around you.  Living sustainably isn’t just a trend—it’s a smart choice for the future. By making simple changes in our daily lives, we can help protect our planet now and for generations to come. 

The Green Homes Challenge offers lots of tips that work with your budget, schedule, and goals. Some actions are quick, easy, and cost nothing. Others may take more thought, time, or initial investment. You choose which steps to take on the path to sustainability! Our interactive site helps you find actions, earn points toward certification, and see your household's impact on the environment.

Three certifications can be earned through the Green Homes Challenge: Power Saver, Green Leader, and Renewable Star.
